The MAINE Legislature.

AUGUSTA, March THE committee ap-
pointed by she Legislature to ascertain
whether the European & North American
railroad has complied with the conditions OF
the act by which certain State lands were
granted, the proceeds of which were to be
applied to the construction of its road, will
report substantially as follows: 1t is pop
ular idea that lands were granted on the
condition that the company should build
trunk line to the eastern boundary and to the
northeastern boundary of Aroostook county;
but the grant was divided into two parts,
the ten township grant and the general pub
lie land grant. The real conditions were
that the proceeds of the township grant
should be used pro rata for construction of
the main line, and the surplus, if any, for
branch into Aroostook county. This part of
the act was subsequently repealed
The general grant was upon the condition
that the proceeds should be expended for the
main line, with branches in Aroostook and
Piscataquis counties. The company mort
gagged these lands for the main line The
mortgage was broken and legally foreclosed
and the title of these lands became absolute
in the first mortgage bondholders. No sur
plus was left for construction of branch
lines. The State failed to designate any of

A silly airl,s Infatuation.

Matte Moore, a seventeen-year-
old white girl from Mayfeld, was
apprehended at Paducah, last We'd
nesday, in an attempt to elope with
a mulatto. They had arranged to
meet there on Monday, but the girl
could not then elude her parents.
She was caught before meeting her
'saddle-colored enslaver, and has re-
turned to Mayfeld. She and a negro
eloped a year ago, but were captured,
since which she has been kept under
close surveillance. A big sensation
was created at the time. Her parents
are respectable people and much
grieved over the girls waywardness
The darky only escaped being
lynciied by the advice of cooler
heads, and, since no legal charge
could be brought against him, he
was released. Henderson Neavs.

CURED By FAITH.
Remarkable Instance In the Case Of a
Minister'S Wife at Chattanooga.
[Tallahoma Guardian. i

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. IA most
remarkable case of faith-cure took
place here last night. Mrs. w. S.
Jordan, wife of a well known min
lister of this city, has been confined
to her bed for a year and a half.
She was suffering from heart disease
and a complication Of troubles. Yes
terday an emissary OF Christian
science Of Boston arrived In this city,
and a service of prayer was held at
the bedside of the sick woman last
night. The service lasted two hours.
when, to the astonishment of ali
present, Mrs. Jordan arose from her
bed unaided, dressed herself and
started out in the street. She walked
ten squares before returning home.
This morning she arose from her
bed, and, after partaking of a hearty
breakfast, went to church for the first
time in two years. When che en-
tered the church her most intimate
friends could not believe their own
eyes when they saw her. Theaffair has
created sensation In the city. Her
husband Is wild with delight, and
says there is no use questioning the
faith-cure in the future.

Useful and Hurtful Medicines.

There is a certain class of remedies
for constipation absolutely useless.
These are boluses and potions made
in great part of podophyllin, aloes,
rhubarb, gamboge, and other worth
less ingredients. The damage they
do tG the stomachs of those who use
them is incalculable. They evacuate
the bowels, it is true, but always do
so violently and profusely, and be-
sides, gripe the bowels. Their effect
is to weaken both them and the
stomach. Better far to use the agree
able and salutary apesient, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the laxative
effect of which is never preceded by
pain, or accompanied by a convul-
sive, violent action Of the bowels.
On the contrary, it invigorates those
organs, the stomach and the entire
system. AS means of curing and
preventing malarial fevers, no med
icine can compare with it, and ii
remedies nervous debility, rheuma-
tism, kidney and bladder inactivity,
and other inorganic ailments. At

A Thing It WIN Do. and Other Things It
Win Do.



Some respectable journals claim
that the repeal Of the Federal tax on
whiskey and tobacco would abolish
the surplus in the treasury: The
claim is well taken. They are cor
rect. But there are other things this
repeal would do.
The repeal of the internal-revenue
by Democratic Congress would
show to the people a complete sur
render of that long advocated doc
trine to lay thel burdens of taxation
on luxuries and indulgencies, and ex-
empt the necessarics of life.
Ii the whiskey tax was prorated
among the people it would be too
small to be noticed. The repeal of
that tax would not be the removal of
a burden from the masses. 1t would
simply relieve the whiskey manu-
facturer of taxation. This would be
outrageously wrong; because the
whiskey-makers are comparatively
but small part of population, and
are engaged in big money-making
business. But how is it with the use
full articles of life-those used by
every man, woman and child in the
land. Why, these internal-revenue
aboiishers want the tax to remain on
them. They want you to have cheap
whiskey, and pay q tax Of u cents
on every pound of sugar you buy
cheap whiskey, and tax of II cents
a hundred on your salt--cheap
whiskey, and % cents tax on every
pound Of rice-cheap whiskey, and
,67 cents on every dollars worth OF
wo0len clothing you buy--cheap
whiskey, and 55 per cent tax on your
earthen and china ware--cheap whis-
key, and from 81 to 100 per cent. on
every dollars worth of glass for your
windows-cheap whiskey, and 81 per
cent. on all your iron and steel tools
all this tax must be paid by the
consumers. These papers know this.
Yet, they are so earnest in their ef-
forts to aid the Republican party in
building up manufacturers, monopo-
lies, and corporations that they want
the whiskey and tobacco tax off in
order that the people may be forced
to keep up the war tariff.

shooting and Killinr in webster County.


[Madisonville Times OF the 7th inst.l
The people Of Webster county
have been we'll supplied with horrors
the past few days. at Dixon, last
Saturday, q young man named
Baker, shot and mortally wounded
another young man named Wiseman
Curlee. There had been an old
grudge between the parties. They
met at Dixon Saturday, and Baker
renewed the trouble, and ended by
shooting Curlee three times. One
ball entered Curlee's left breast, ,one in
to his left thigh and one grazed bis
forehead. Immediately after doing
his deadly work, Baker, and party
of friends who were with him
mounted their horses and fled.
Curlee's wound in the breast was
thought to be fatal.
AT the same place, on the same
day, couple OF horses in a wagon
ran off, throwing the occupants, four
women, out. One of them, Mrs,
Brogden, formerly Miss Fuqua, Ii
so badly hurt that it is though she
will die. The other women were all
more or less bruised OF injured, but
not seriously.
At q church in the southwestern
part of the county, last Saturday, a
gentleman whose name we could not
learn was accidently shot and killed
by his own son. The son had gone
10 church with a revolver in his
pocket, taking q seat in front of his
father, with the muzzle of the pistol
pointing upward. In moving in his
seat the weapon was discharged,
sending the bullet into the forehead
of his father, just between the eyes,
killing him instantly. A scene ol
wild commotion and intense excite
ment followed. The young man
whose cowardly habit Of carrying q
pistol has resulted in the death o.
his own father, was almost frantic
The sensible thing for him to have
done would have been to have
emptied the remaining bullets into
his own small brains, and rid the
world of one more fool. He deserves
no sympathy, and should be pun
ished to the full extent Of the law
He is a murderer, though uninten
tionally, of his own father, but if ht
had not have been the victim some
body else probably would have been
as the carrying of a concealed
weapon is strong presumptivt
evidence that he wanted to use it Oh
somebody. His horrible deed should
be warning to other silly-pateC
young fellows who think it is smar
and manly to carry pistol, when i
is both cowardly and contemplate.
